    I understand that the Jamaican federation don't do random drug testing which is unbelievable in this day and age.
    It is unlikely that the top Jamacan stars live & train in Jamaca - most probably train in the States. These guys will be tested at the international meets that they attend throughout the year.
    I might be wrong but i think they do train in Jamaica as a group. They will be tested at events but so was Dwain Chambers/Justin Gatlin etc.
    Apart from his jogging home, one of the other noticeable things about Usain Bolt's show was that, unlike the rest, he didn't warn up.

    Shelly-Ann Fraser, the women’s 100 metres winner, said that the Jamaicans are all so fast because they eat a certain yam (sweet potato), obviously taking things more literally than some.

    Yams contain progesterone and in some parts of the world where ‘natural’ medicine is more common, women are recommended to eat yams as a contraceptive measure, while in more ‘sophisticated’ societies, yam extract is used in anti-aging creams and yam-derived progesterone in hormone replacement therapy. It's also offered online by businesses supplying ‘supplements’ for body-building and achieving-fitness.

    The dope dealer Heredia, involved in the Trevor-Graham case, says the Jamaicans must, however, have been doped. Heredia feels he should know because he says, of all the different drugs he supplied to sportsmen/women in America in recent years, 20 are still undetectable.
